Well today is the big day, and I never received my SS Daytona from my AD. I went on their wait list back in 2016, when the new model debuted. I got a call last July from my AD, telling me that I was next up. I thought for sure by today, I would have it in my possession. Well, maybe it will come for my 40th year instead of the day. Keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe this is a blessing in the sky and something from Basel will come out this year and I will want that in stead. But it better be something COOL! As I was not that impressed with the models from the 2017 Basel world.........

Pay the premium. Or buy a PM model...life's too short.

drm20 · 24 February 2018, 01:57 AM

Happy 40th! I bet it's cold in Sac, I used to live in Rocklin. Hope you get that call soon or something at Basel comes up!

Mainewatchman · 24 February 2018, 01:58 AM

Move on! No way I am waiting that long for (no offense) but not that special of a watch.

function12 · 24 February 2018, 02:09 AM

Call them and say today is my birthday and just checking to see if my watch came in today.

Happy Birthday!!!

RMC12 · 24 February 2018, 02:22 AM

Happy Birthday! 2 years is a loooong wait! I think I'd be looking at alternatives!

Good thinking! And good luck. I too have been waiting since Basel 216 announcement at my two ADs. Not even sure what position I am in line. Definitely don’t want to pay the premium as I’ll never do that. Instead I’ll just enjoy the models I already own (blnr, SubC, dblue, speedy, Tudor bronze and a couple of Tag Monaco’s) and wait for a call in the near future.

Happy Birthday.

Many Happy Returns.

Agree, if anything cool comes out this year it will be another 2 yr wait

happy birthday

r8t3d_M · 24 February 2018, 02:37 AM

Who knows..maybe you'll get the call later today or over the weekend. Happy Birthday!

car_wash_guy · 24 February 2018, 02:41 AM

To be on the "list", do you have to pay for the watch in advance?

Agreed. It's just money

junamuan · 24 February 2018, 02:55 AM

so not a happy birthday for you eh?

adg31 · 24 February 2018, 03:26 AM

Happy Birthday I hope you have a great day.
It was a good idea to get your name down in plenty of time so that the Daytona may just be here for your 50th :)

Happy Birthday!

KrismanX · 24 February 2018, 03:46 AM

YOLO good, Sir! I say GO to the AD and give the birthday guilt trip. That way if they don't have it, you've got a nice little bargaining chip for a potential discount on a better watch! Lol given they have something in the cases. It seems that steel is now THE rarest, most precious metal in the Rolex world. WOOOF.

Or go for a Trusted Seller!
Happy birthday and good luck

I've had two; nice watch but not remotely worth all the fuss. It's actually a superbly marketed but essentially ordinary luxury watch. Nice if you can get one without fuss, but not something to actively 'miss,' .

uncufunc · 24 February 2018, 04:09 AM

happy birthday! now go buy another watch from a TS here. You'll be celebrating with a new rolex on your wrist tomorrow morning.

Starhutch · 24 February 2018, 04:16 AM

Go big for your 40th...not worth waiting that long to enjoy!

AK797 · 24 February 2018, 04:18 AM

2 years... I don't know how you guys do it.

Sub King · 24 February 2018, 04:19 AM

Happy birthday!!! I think this is a sign from above that you should just go for PM...

brandrea · 24 February 2018, 04:20 AM
